The Federation of Crop Science Societies of the Philippines (FCSSP) will
hold its 22nd National Scientific Conference at the Pearlmont Inn in
Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental on March 11-16, 2013. The theme
‘Innovative Crop Technologies for More Food and Fun’ highlights modern
exciting research, effective practical new farm technologies and
enjoyable profitable agri-ventures in the backdrop of fun agri-tourism
sites.

The FCSSP conducts the biennial National Scientific Conference
where advances in crop science research and development, policy issues
and concerns are presented. The Conference provides a venue to acquire
and exchange knowledge in the broad spectrum of the agricultural sector
and to address the most pressing agricultural issues through the various
activities such as paper and poster presentations, agri-tours,
agri-entrepreneurs forum and best paper and best poster competitions.
The Conference will be held in cooperation with the Department of
Agriculture Regional Field Unit X and the College of Agriculture, Xavier
University-Ateneo de Cagayan.

The 32nd Philippine Environmental Mutagen Society (PEMS) Annual Convention will be held on 24 November 2012
(Saturday), 12:30 - 5 pm , at the Chemrez room of Institute of Chemistry
Teaching Building, National Science Complex, University of the
Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City (please click here
for map). The theme of the convention is "Convergence of Chemistry,
Biology and Mathematics: Biodiversity". Please check out the PEMS flyer for more details. You may also send an e-mail to philemsoc@yahoo.com for inquiries.

Convention fee is PhP 350 for members, PhP 500 for non-members, and PhP
250 for students who pre-register . For students who register on-site,
the fee is PhP 300. Students must present ID. The fee is inclusive of PM
snacks.

Nature provides a myriad of natural products important to man. Tapping this potential requires a good understanding of natural products and finding the suitable methods for their extraction and application. In this upcoming convention, focus will be on the following methods:

Current methods in bio-analytical chemistry

Biotech and biologic drug development

Innovations in sugar technology

Approaches for academe-industry merger

A spin-off workshop on 1 December will mainlycover the basics of natural products research.

DATE: 5-9 December 2012VENUE: UP National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development (UP NISMED), Diliman, Quezon City

The Asian Association for Biology Educators (AABE) will hold its 24th

Philippines National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education
Development (UP NISMED), Diliman, Quezon City.

The theme of the conference is “The Century of Biology: Towards Transformative Learning”. Subthemes include: Learner
Centered Education; Technology Based Education; Active Research;
Interdisciplinary Approach; Biodiversity and Conservation; and Ethics in
Biology. All interested participants and BIOTAns are invited to attend and present a paper. Contact Dr. Jessamyn Marie O. Yazon (biotaphl@gmail.com) for details.

The Philippine Network of Microbial Culture Collections, Inc. cordially
invites you to its 12th Annual Symposium and General Assembly. This
year’s symposium will focus on the theme “Linking Microbial Taxonomy to
Education and Industry”.

Microbial taxonomy is the process of
classifying microorganisms. Those with the same characteristics are put
together in the same group and are separated from others with different
features.

The growing field of microbial taxonomy provides
several applications in education as well as in the industry. It allows
organizing and establishing vast amount of knowledge about
microorgan-isms, thus, serving as a filing system for microbiologists.
It is also important in research as it offers vast information about a
certain microorganism of interest. It is therefore vital in identifying
microorganisms essential in food, pharmaceutical and biotechnological
industries.

In this year’s symposium, we have invited speakers
who will discuss about how microbial taxonomy is linked to education and
industry. The taxonomy of different microorganisms such as bacteria,
fungi and archaea will also be presented and discussed. It is hoped that
through this symposium, many researchers will find better appreciation
for the field of microbial taxonomy.

BIOME, the Philippine National Biodiversity
Meeting in Catanduanes Island and SEDTEC, National Conference on Science,
Education and Technology are held during the Catandungan Festival in October. These are being organized by Pacifictech
(Pacific Island Institute for Pedagogy, Technology, Arts & Sciences, Inc.) with
the support of the Provincial Government of Catanduanes through its Provincial
Tourism Office. Although dealing with a
variety of themes, the joint national scientific meeting originally stood for
the “Biodiversity Meeting in Catanduanes
Island, Philippines on Climate Change, Sustainable Development, Innovations,
Political Ecology and Social Representations in Nature Conservation” and
was organized for the first time in October 2010 (BIOME 1) and October 2011
(BIOME2-SEDTEC1). Hence, BIOME3 is being
held again during the 2012 Catandungan Festival together with SEDTEC2 dubbed as
the Philippine National Conference on
Water and Biodiversity(NCWB) on
22-23 October 2012.

The Philippine Society for the Advancement of Genetics, Inc. (PhilSAGEN) cordially invites you to the 12th National Genetics Symposium (NGS).
The NGS is a biennial gathering of professionals in genetics and
related fields. It serves as a forum for the presentation of research
findings, sharing of knowledge, exchange of ideas, and discussion of
topics related to genetics research and education.

The 12th NGS focuses on the exciting field of genomics. In this
conference, esteemed speakers from the academe, R & D, and the
medical field will give exciting talks on how genetics in the
Philippines is being transformed by this fast-advancing field. Expect to
discover the application of genomics in plant and animal breeding,
biodiversity, human genetics, medicine and ethnicity. Ethical, legal,
and social issues will be also be discussed. Also included in the
program is a competition for best poster and best undergraduate thesis.

DATE: 18-19 October 2012VENUE: College of Science Auditorium, University of the Philippines Diliman
